Launching Impactful Micro-Businesses 🌱🌎 I Venture Building👷 I Circular Economy ♻️ I AI for Good 🤖 I Angel Investing 💸

I’m not a productivity guru.
I’ve launched 10+ ventures, started 100+ side projects, and abandoned at least as many.

Like many creative generalists, I live between sticky notes, Notion docs, WhatsApp reminders, and new startup ideas that always feel more exciting than the last.

So I’m doing what I do best: building for the mess I live in.

For the next 30 days, I’m building a micro-SaaS focused on one core challenge:
Helping creative generalists (like me) stay focused without feeling boxed in.

I’ll be building and sharing in public.

Follow me for transparent updates, lessons learned, and real progress from someone who’s deep in the chaos (and finally doing something about it).
